I’m currently a high school teacher, but I have a final interview next week for an ID job that I feel very good about.

Is there a way I can bring this up in the interview without making it seem like I’m trying to pressure them into a decision?

2 - is the treasury pulling this shit with everyone? In efforts to get fewer people to purchase series I?
